Yeah, I think Apollo Derivatives is where all the people who had insane ideas went when they found out there wasn't going to be a World War II-style demand for insane ideas to implement in a hurry.
My favorite anti-satellite weapon is a can of black paint ... which would block solar panels, certainly, but also screw up the heat radiation systems and let the satellite fry itself in a pattern that -- if you ignore the satellite-killer sneaking up on it -- would look like an ordinary if frustrating system failure.
